![]() ![]() ![]() I have been playing this app since 2008, I have adopted nearly 400 this app and have had a Deluxe account since the option was introduced.I’ve been without a laptop for a while now so Webkinz has allowed me to take care of my “pets”, play a lot of the games I love, allowed me to continue growing my collection and allowed be to decorate the rooms. And if you have passwords on those accounts that are also used on other sites, change those as well.While I think this is a great app, I keep hoping that one day the full this app Site will be available. If anybody has potential theories as to why Next and eshop website are not down, feel free to share because I'm at a loss.Īll we can really do is wait for an official statement from Webkinz/Ganz themselves for the full story as to what happened, but for now, your best bet is to change your passwords for all Ganz-related accounts ASAP. And considering the wording of "protect your account", what else could they be referring to except your password, secret codes, or even credit card information (though, that credit card numbers dont seem to be stored within Webkinz directly, but through the eshop website). Especially considering that a classic account with the same credentials can be used on Next. ![]() That said, while all of us should ABSOLUTELY change our passwords for security's sake, the fact that Webkinz Next has been up and running the entire time strikes me as very odd. Why else would Ganz shut down their services for the Classic app (which is essentially one of, if not the largest cashflow of the entire company) if something serious had not not occurred? Shutting down operations cuts directly into Ganz's pockets, so they would not do this if there wasn't a true cause for concern. To protect your account your session was terminated. Unless the text box was triggered via some sort of bug, I believe this is the result of an attempted (or god forbid, successful) hack due to the wording of the text box.Īn unauthorized attempt to intercept Webkinz communications was detected. I want to be clear that while I am experienced in my knowledge of this stuff, I am not an expert by any means, and I could be very wrong in what I am theorizing here, so please do not panic until official word from Webkinz comes out: As the title suggests, I am also currently majoring in cybersecurity (in my 4th year of study, still have another year to go for reasons outside of education). Hey, before I get into my thoughts on this whole thing, just a brief note about myself: I've been playing on and off since around 2007, really like it all these years later. ![]()
